Don't Waste A Wish
Wishes Lost in Love's Embers
Lyrics
It don't make much sense
Expressing confusion or illogicality in a situation.
Something don't seem right
Noticing that something is wrong or out of place.
Every time I step outside I seem to lose my mind
Experiencing a mental challenge or confusion when stepping outside.
You say that flame is gone
Acknowledging the perceived loss of a passionate connection.
Baby I got a light
Asserting the presence of a positive and hopeful element.
You say you're feeling low
Noting a state of emotional downturn or sadness.
But we used to be so high
Contrasting the current emotional state with a past joyful one.
Don't waste a wish on me
Advising against wasting a wish on the speaker.
I'm saving mine for you
Choosing to reserve wishes for someone special.
I called God a thousand times
Expressing a desperate attempt to communicate with a higher power.
But the call never went through
Highlighting the perceived lack of response from the divine.
Love is the game
Defining love as a challenging game or experience.
You don't seem to lose
Contradicting the idea of losing in the game of love.
Long nights and cigarettes
Describing a period of extended darkness and the use of cigarettes.
And you finish with the booze
Concluding with the consumption of alcohol.
Maybe that ain't the way
Questioning the appropriateness of a particular path or behavior.
Maybe that could be a sin
Suggesting a potential moral or ethical concern.
If you don't ever lose...
Exploring the idea that avoiding losses might lead to a negative outcome.
Well I sure as hell don't win
Expressing a sense of perpetual struggle without clear victories.
Don't waste a wish on me
Reiterating the advice not to waste wishes on the speaker.
I'm saving mine for you
Reaffirming the intention to reserve wishes for someone special.
I called God a thousand times
Recalling repeated attempts to connect with a higher power.
But the call never went through
Highlighting the continued lack of response from the divine.
